Description

Property Summary
Development Opportunity - Land off Edwin Way, Hevingham, Norwich

An excellent opportunity to acquire a rare and versatile parcel of land extending to approximately 1 acre, prominently positioned off Edwin Way in the desirable village of Hevingham, just north of Norwich.

The site benefits from mixed-use potential, incorporating both residential and B2 (general industrial) use, offering exceptional flexibility for a range of purchasers including developers, owner-occupiers, and investors.
